This commit adds support for hyperlink escape sequence
`OSC 8 ; params ; URI ST`. The configuration option responsible for
those is `hints.enabled.hyperlinks`.
Fixes#922.
Alacritty's `msg create-window` subcommand would previously inherit all
the CLI parameters from the original executable. However not only could
this lead to unexpected behavior, it also prevents multi-window users
from making use of parameters like `-e`, `--working-directory`, or
`--hold`.
This is solved by adding a JSON-based message format to the IPC socket
messages which instructs the Alacritty server on which CLI parameters
should be used to create the new window.
Fixes#5562.
Fixes#5561.
Fixes#5560.
Previously Alacritty would always initialize only a single terminal
emulator window feeding into the winit event loop, however some
platforms like macOS expect all windows to be spawned by the same
process and this "daemon-mode" can also come with the advantage of
increased memory efficiency.
The event loop has been restructured to handle all window-specific
events only by the event processing context with the associated window
id. This makes it possible to add new terminal windows at any time using
the WindowContext::new function call.
Some preliminary tests have shown that for empty terminals, this reduces
the cost of additional terminal emulators from ~100M to ~6M. However at
this point the robustness of the daemon against issues with individual
terminals has not been refined, making the reliability of this system
questionable.
New windows can be created either by using the new `CreateNewWindow`
action, or with the `alacritty msg create-window` subcommand. The
subcommand sends a message to an IPC socket which Alacritty listens on,
its location can be found in the `ALACRITTY_SOCKET` environment
variable.
Fixes#607.
In some cases it could be desired to apply 'background_opacity'
to all background colors instead of just 'colors.primary.background',
thus adding an 'colors.opaque_background_colors' option to control that.
Fixes#741.
The default binding for launching the URL hints was documented as
Ctrl+Shift+U, but never actually set. This adds this binding as the
default instead of having URLs only launchable using the mouse.
The URL highlighting regex would automatically terminate on an ascii
whitespace, however there are several other forms of whitespace that are
indistinguisable to a user from normal whitespace. To make things a
little more intuitive, all unicode whitespace will now terminate URLs.
This patch removes the old url highlighting code and replaces it with a
new implementation making use of hints as sources for finding matches in
the terminal.
This adds some built-in actions for handling hint selections without
having to spawn external applications.
The new actions are `Copy`, `Select` and `Paste`.
This adds support for hints, which allow opening parts of the visual
buffer with external programs if they match a certain regex.
This is done using a visual overlay triggered on a specified key
binding, which then instructs the user which keys they need to press to
pass the text to the application.
In the future it should be possible to supply some built-in actions for
Copy/Pasting the action and using this to launch text when clicking on
it with the mouse. But the current implementation should already be
useful as-is.
Fixes#2792.
Fixes#2536.
This refactors a large chunk of the alacritty_terminal API to expose all
data necessary for rendering uniformly through the `renderable_content`
call. This also no longer transforms the cells for rendering by a GUI
but instead just reports the content from a terminal emulation
perspective. The transformation into renderable cells is now done inside
the alacritty crate.
Since the terminal itself only ever needs to know about modified color
RGB values, the configuration for colors was moved to the alacritty UI
code.
This replaces the existing `Deserialize` derive from serde with a
`ConfigDeserialize` derive. The goal of this new proc macro is to allow
a more error-friendly deserialization for the Alacritty configuration
file without having to manage a lot of boilerplate code inside the
configuration modules.
The first part of the derive macro is for struct deserialization. This
takes structs which have `Default` implemented and will only replace
fields which can be successfully deserialized. Otherwise the `log` crate
is used for printing errors. Since this deserialization takes the
default value from the struct instead of the value, it removes the
necessity for creating new types just to implement `Default` on them for
deserialization.
Additionally, the struct deserialization also checks for `Option` values
and makes sure that explicitly specifying `none` as text literal is
allowed for all options.
The other part of the derive macro is responsible for deserializing
enums. While only enums with Unit variants are supported, it will
automatically implement a deserializer for these enums which accepts any
form of capitalization.
Since this custom derive prevents us from using serde's attributes on
fields, some of the attributes have been reimplemented for
`ConfigDeserialize`. These include `#[config(flatten)]`,
`#[config(skip)]` and `#[config(alias = "alias)]`. The flatten attribute
is currently limited to at most one per struct.
Additionally the `#[config(deprecated = "optional message")]` attribute
allows easily defining uniform deprecation messages for fields on
structs.
This removes some of Alacritty's CLI flags since the same functionality
is provided by the '--option' flag now.
The removed flags are:
* '--persistent-logging'
* '--live-config-reload'
* '--no-live-config-reload'
* '--dimensions'
* '--position'
Fixes#4246.
This adds the ability for users to have multiple configuration files
which all inherit from each other.
The order of imports is chronological, branching out to the deepest
children first and overriding every field with that of the configuration
files that are loaded at a later point in time.
Live config reload watches the directories of all configuration files,
allowing edits in any of them to update Alacritty immediately. While the
imports are live reloaded, a new configuration file watcher will only be
spawned once Alacritty is restarted.
Since this might cause loops which would be very difficult to detect, a
maximum depth is set to limit the recursion possible with nested
configuration files.
Fixes#779.
This commit removes font dependency from alacritty_terminal,
so it'll simplify the usage of alacritty_terminal as a library,
since you won't link to system's libraries anymore. It also
moves many alacritty related config options from it.
Fixes#3393.
This implements a basic mode for navigating inside of Alacritty's
history with keyboard bindings. They're bound by default to vi's motion
shortcuts but are fully customizable. Since this relies on key bindings
only single key bindings are currently supported (so no `ge`, or
repetition).
Other than navigating the history and moving the viewport, this mode
should enable making use of all available selection modes to copy
content to the clipboard and launch URLs below the cursor.
This also changes the rendering of the block cursor at the side of
selections, since previously it could be inverted to be completely
invisible. Since that would have caused some troubles with this keyboard
selection mode, the block cursor now is no longer inverted when it is at
the edges of a selection.
Fixes#262.
This takes the latest glutin master to port Alacritty to the EventLoop
2.0 rework.
This changes a big part of the event loop handling by pushing the event
loop in a separate thread from the renderer and running both in
parallel.
